I planted some in August. I was hoping to have pumpkins by the end of October. Thus far, I have only blooms. Next year I will try planting them in July.

I hear that he may take her down to Circleville for the pumpkin show.

Dude, August? July?
If you were a farmer, you'd starve.
If you're planting seeds, typically shoot for a week or two before the average last frost. That's early May where I live. If you're putting plants in (seedlings started in a greenhouse or in your house on a window sill), wait until after the average last frost date.
We got around a dozen pie pumpkins this year.

You'll have nothing and like it
We found out how to grow them by accident and have not bought them for 5 years now.
just take the pumpkins you have for this year and after halloween smash them where you want to grow some. Next year, pumpkins. We accidently did this in the beds next to our patio and they have been growning in every year since. Feed them a little Miracle Gro in the summer and they will get huge.

I am not a farmer, but the pumpkin farmers here plant in July and early August. We have a long growing season here. I will try your advice next year, though.

Chic, thanks for the link. It stated the last of June would have been good. Oh well, I have some pretty blooms. Maybe next year I can report better success.

We grew pumpkins this same way. Though the smashing was done by neighborhood delinquents. Easiest planting I have ever done.

I believe that is why people grow them so late down here, not sure though. Obviously I don't have a clue how to grow pumpkins.
